Food median prices data with HXL tags.
Median of all prices for a given commodity observed on different markets is shown, together with the market where
it was observed. Data are shortened in multiple ways:

Rather that prices on all markets, only median price across all markets is shown, together with the market
where it has been observed.

Only food commodities are displayed (non-food commodities like fuel and wages are not shown).

Only data after 2014-01-15 are shown. Missing data are interpolated.

Column with shorter commodity names "cmnshort" are available to be used as chart labels.

Units are adapted and prices are rescaled in order to yield comparable values (so that they
can be displayed and compared in a single chart). Scaling factor is present in scaling column.
Label with full commodity name and a unit (with scale if applicable) is in column "label".
